I was looking at some PC's at Best Buy and a salesman came up to try and give me the hard sell. I asked if I could buy the PC without Windows on it for a discount.

"How would you use your computer without Windows on it?"

"I'm going to install Linux"

"What's that?"

"It's an operating system"

Blank stare

"Like Windows or OS X..."

Blank Stare

Sigh "I already have a copy of Windows at home"

"Oh! Well I don't think you can do that, no."
